Product Description:

The SOT02-E2R-FW is an operator panel produced by Bosch Rexroth Indramat for the SOT Operator Panels series. As a stationary interface, it allows operators to enter commands and monitor process feedback through a multiline text display and dedicated keys. Installed in an automation cell, the unit links controller logic with operator inputs so that parameters, alarms, and job sequences can be selected without opening the control cabinet. The display and key layout are intended for fixed mounting at the machine, where quick access to status messages is required during normal operation.

Electrically, the panel operates from a regulated 24 VDC source and draws up to 1 A, making it suitable for standard control-voltage rails. A 3.6 V lithium backup cell maintains clock and recipe data when input power is removed, while the integrated memory offers 512 KB of battery-backed RAM for message texts and configuration files. Operators read information on a text matrix arranged in 16 lines with 40 characters per line, which keeps menu layouts consistent and refresh times predictable. The Rollfeed keyboard supports rapid scrolling. The station-unit design keeps the electronics on a single board, and the 62 mm housing depth helps the panel fit shallow enclosures without excessive protrusion.

The aluminum front face has an IP65 rating that blocks dust and water jets when the gasket is compressed against the cabinet door. The rear section is limited to IP30 because it is intended to remain inside the protected cabinet space. Overall width is 340 mm, height is 192 mm, and total mass is 2.43 kg, which supports direct mounting without added reinforcement. The housing dimensions leave room for cable bends behind the panel, and the fixed mounting arrangement supports routine use in enclosed industrial installations.
